So far no motive has been made public, however, if I had to make an assumption based on what little information has been revealed, I would say this is more of a mental health issue, rather than the usual motive for school shootings of selfishness and egomania. Columbus Scioto is a school for those with mental health issues. I’m more concerned with where Abdullahi got the gun. If you own a gun and have kids, a gun lock can go a long way, and in a lot of jurisdictions you can get them for free from your local police department.

While I haven’t read any of the article comments, because they’re almost always toxic, I’m waiting for someone to call this an act of Islamic terrorism based solely on the shooter’s name.

As usual, I’ll post more details as they become available and as time allows.
